The Equalizer
In a third 1-0 quarterfinal result, Gotham gritted out the win over Seattle Reign. The goal came on a lucky (or unlucky, depending on who you're rooting for) deflection, but then Gotham's defense, goalkeeping and experience shone, @munson_bella writes.

The pitch at Sports Illustrated Arena has been awful ever since they played a rugby game on it 2 weeks ago. It was terrible for Gotham’s final regular season game against Utah too.

Jess Fishlock, after the final game of her career, called the pitch here “atrocious,” which is understandably a recurring theme as Gotham and Seattle Reign players pass through the mixed zone; Jaelin Howell also described it as “sandy” and “unstable”
